OK well I am not one to really post on here often as many of you already know..... I tend to write a boring novel instead of a quick read but I will do my best to keep this short...

Anyway, I would like to add that the Phil Gilroy account was indeed an ex - -V- / Omen member, which was passed to me by GE, to annoy you guys when he left in his "blaze of glory". Phil is in the stats with 49 villages that we never made an attempt at keeping or taking, actually it was just as planned, to annoy -V- members. One of their big accounts was now in RAID. That said, we count them happily, knowing that you would have nobled him out internally without having to waste the time and effort to send real attacks or waste any troops...
As for the current real war effort - we are presently taking advantage of your newly created family status which is clearly aimed at taking the in-active players you have. This makes things even easier for the members of RAID, since we now know which are really active and so who to attack. We owe you some belated thanks and some thanks, in advance, for future RAID ennoblements.
As for the old topic of why RAID starting the war - let me see why we did this:
1. The then duke of –V- , and myself, were in talks about a possible NAP as your members were moving into our territory but it didn't interest your leadership that they were actually talking about taking down tribes in K52 with RAID as your ally...Which makes no sense.....
2. RAID goes to war with POP, your then duke mass recruited some of them - our enemy..... Doing so is in an irrefutable act of war.
3. He would not release these refugees as requested thus a concrete problem.
4. He said if any member was caught cheating he would kick them from the tribe
(2 players were subsequently banned but they remained within -V- ranks)
5. -V- was the “top Dog” on w39 through mergers and a few small skirmishes but everyone knows it's lonely at the top without some form of action. So RAID obliged.
6. Raid didn't want to partake in tribal hugs, it makes the game boring
So I think it is clear why RAID declared on -V-, why the war is still going... let's just say for some of us it actually just started.
RAID, as underdogs, declared on the Rank 1 tribe. We are still fighting and by doing so ensure we as a tribe are having fun. The way we look at it is this: RAID are having fun and thus far exceeding narrow-minded expectations – victory thus far......but all steps clearly lead to the final victory.
